Spirited Run-come Join Us!

[Presidential_Detail]

OK, so we have roughyly 10 members that are "locked in" meaning they have posted they want to go AND voted or PM'd they can do it on the date mentioned.SO here are the details. Experienced drivers only. We wont be doing anything "crazy" but these roads get away from you REAL QUICK!

Some quick rules that seem fair to throw in:
1. Do NOT cross yellow line.
2. Leave one car length for every 10 mph you are travelling. So 40 mph would be a min of 4 car lengths
3. I think 60mph should be around our top speed on any given road.
4. More experienced drivers go up front, less go in back of group.

I will send a PM on a meeting location and time, please reply letting me know you recieved it.
I will try to print out the maps for each of us to have.JUST INCASE SOMEONE GETS LOST;)

Be careful, have fun.

PS: Not a really good idea to publish when and where you and a group of folks may or may not choose to bend a few laws. In fact, it's most likely against TR forum rules. (or is that only if it's a "call out" for a street race?)

[labkreationz]

[Loren]

Nah, I'll pass. Looks like a good route, though.

[BeQuietAndDrive]

Looks cool to me. I might be up for that. Keep me posted.

[Little Nicky]

mi down pm me place and time

[robofunc]

So far were looking towards a thursday night, possibly after QSL dinner if everyone wants to do that? If not we can just meet up somewhere in Oldsmar. Is thursday night good for everyone here?

QSL--isn't that, like, way over in Pinellas or something?

[Presidential_Detail]

Were not going to do the QSL thing, how does Oldsmar Wal-Mart sound for a meeting spot?

You gotta get out of tampa, and then you will find some awesome roads.I wish I had my car, I know some roads that are fun and really scenic

[mofugga]

Well maybe next time, well see how this one goes. If all goes well we will do this again!

On a side note we need to get together sometime and hit up these roads anyways!

My drive to work in Pictures and Words - Tampa Forums (http://www.tampaforums.com/forums/free-4-all/my-drive-work-pictures-words-284935/?highlight=drive+work) ;)

and I can add another 45 minutes onto that and only have to go thru 4-5 stop lights and get stuck behind very few cars and pass maybe 1-2 gas stations

the route I would take would be start at old pasco rd, head north to SR52, then west on SR 52 to bellamy brothers road. bellamy brothers to powell road, powell road to spring lake highway, spring lake becomes mondon hill road, then a right onto weatherly, weatherly to croom road, croom road west to US 41, north on 41 to lake mackethan park to relax.

[Presidential_Detail]

PM's SENT TO EVERYONE! I sent through spooncivic's name on accident. Just PM him or me or post in this thread if you are going!

[Little Nicky]

i went i was 15 mins late and noone was there.........................................wast e of a 45 min drive.

[Loren]

He published the route, it's not like you couldn't have either made the drive solo, or caught up with them somewhere along the way. What? Did you expect them to wait for you?

[Little Nicky]

From thew pm i got....MEET TIME: 9:30PM-once we all get there we will leave!

I didnt know my way about those roads and its all good i know i was late but still lol.

[Loren]

My guess is that they waited 10 minutes and said "guess he's not coming". That's usually how it goes...

[BeQuietAndDrive]

Sorry I couldn't make it guys, had some family issues come up at the last minute. Hope everything went smooth, I'd love to get in on the next run.

[Presidential_Detail]

Hey nicky, we actually didnt leave until about 10:10pm. Where were you? There was like 7 of us. We tried to wait for everyone but 40 mins. is quite some time:lol: I will set up another one of these in a few weeks. Will be on a Sunday moring this time though;)

[Steve C.]

We

i went i was 15 mins late and noone was there.........................................wast e of a 45 min drive.

The established time was 9:30, we stayed at the meet spot till 10:10, till we came to a decision noone else was coming!

I had ALOT of fun! Nice to meet some of you, robofunk, 92bsibluelude, and senor honda! and nice to see ya opiumdaze!

[Loren]

A word of caution: Bicyclists, sometimes dozens of them, like to ride these routes early on weekend mornings. All day, really. Safest time to "play" out there is probably when you did... late on a weekday evening. Of course, if you're going to "play hard", best to do it on a track or at an autocross.

[Steve C.]

did you go to the publix? we were sitting in the parking lot, there were no cars so you couldnt miss us?

[robofunc]

^ Yeah. We were seriously standing around in the cold for nearly an hour. I remember vividly.

It was pretty fun, though. Glad everyone managed to have fun and not break anything/get hurt.

[Little Nicky]
